The International Cricket Council (ICC) is anticipated to reveal the schedule in the next few days, and Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium has been selected to host the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 final.
According to what The Indian Express has learnt, top BCCI officials met and decided that the World Cup will be staged in fewer places than it was in 2023. Each venue is anticipated to host at least six games.
Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai were on the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) shortlist. Three stadiums in Sri Lanka are reportedly going to host the games, but it's unclear which ones.Since India would be hosting the tournament alongside Sri Lanka, it is also unclear if Bengaluru and Lucknow will be taken into consideration as locations for games.
The sites that hosted the ICC Women's 50-over World Cup will not be given consideration to host the men's competition, according to a decision already made by the Indian board. The Women's ODI World Cup matches were held at Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Indore, and Navi Mumbai.
In the meantime, the Indian board has been informed by the ICC that Sri Lanka will play in Colombo if it advances to the semi-finals. Additionally, the tournament summit match will take place at a neutral location if Pakistan advances to the final.

According to the previously negotiated agreement, which permits India and Pakistan to play their league games in a third country, the Indian board has made it plain that the match between India and Pakistan will take place in Colombo.
Prior to the Champions Trophy, the BCCI and PCB had reached a deal that they would henceforth play in foreign countries rather than visit each other's countries. The BCCI has sent the ICC its calendar for the event, which is anticipated to begin in early 2026.
